Every song that night was performed in his memory, and the result is one of the most emotionally charged and historically significant recordings of Simone's entire career. The weight of the moment is audible throughout — in the force of her piano, in the barely contained grief in her voice, and in her words to the audience between songs. It is a document of an artist and a community in pain, transformed into something transcendent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe programme draws together blues standards, gospel and original material. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Why?

The set also includes \u003cstrong\u003e\"Ain't Got No \/ I Got Life\"\u003c\/strong\u003e from the musical Hair, which would become one of Simone's biggest European hits, \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Backlash Blues\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — written for her by the great poet \u003cstrong\u003eLangston Hughes\u003c\/strong\u003e — and the traditional \u003cstrong\u003e\"Gin House Blues\"\u003c\/strong\u003e.
